| List of adapter,address pairs to force chips into ADM1022 mode with | |
| second remote temperature. This does not work for original THMC50 chips. | |
| Description | |
| ----------- | |
| The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an | |
| external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside | |
| many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature | |
| sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown | |
| register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree | |
| accuracy. An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the | |
| temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on | |
| until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in | |
| degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees. | |
| The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often | |
| will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. | |
| The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure | |
| the temperature of the processor(s). | |
| The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of | |
| 1 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional | |
| remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default. | |
| In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force | |
| the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter. | |
| A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed. | |
| Driver Features | |
| --------------- | |
| The driver provides up to three temperatures: | |
| temp1 -- internal | |
| temp2 -- remote | |
| temp3 -- 2nd remote only for ADM1022 | |
| pwm1 -- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full) | |
| pwm1_mode -- always 0 (DC mode) | |
| The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip, | |
| so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not. | |
| The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works | |
| in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans. | |
